“It was murder”: Doug Ford introduces law to strengthen dangerous driving penalties

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChLtXXpo4Ge1ReTEboVvTDg https://ift.tt/enER5Yh Ontario Premier Doug Ford introduced "Andrew's Law" on Friday which will aim to amend the criminal code when it comes to "serious offences." "Dangerous driving, impaired driving, stunt driving... There should be immediate licence suspension. Life-time driving bans," Ford says, adding a host of other offences to the proposed law. The proposed law is in honour of Andrew Cristillo, 35, who was killed Aug. 3 in a head-on crash in Whitchurch-Stouffville that also left his wife and their three young daughters injured. The family initially launched a petition calling for the law, which they hope would strengthen dangerous driving penalties, including revoking an accused person’s licence until they go to trial, and enacting lifetime driving bans for people convicted of extreme dangerous driving. The 18-year-old man charged in that crash is also the same person charged after a car hit a vehicle Ford was travelling in on Highway 401 in January.
